Colonic lipomas are uncommon benign tumors that are usually asymptomatic but may occasionally lead to complications such as intussusception. In adults, colocolic intussusception is rare and typically associated with a structural lead point, often malignant. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with acute bowel obstruction and was found to have colocolic intussusception secondary to a colonic lipoma. Diagnosis was established through imaging, and surgical resection was performed without prior reduction. The patient recovered uneventfully. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by adult intussusception and emphasizes the key role of CT imaging in identifying the underlying cause and guiding appropriate management. Early recognition and timely surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.
结肠脂肪瘤是罕见的良性肿瘤,通常无症状,但偶尔可能导致诸如肠套叠等并发症。在成年人中,结肠结肠型肠套叠很少见,通常与结构性引导点有关,且往往是恶性的。我们报告一例74岁女性,她因急性肠梗阻就诊,经检查发现是由结肠脂肪瘤继发的结肠结肠型肠套叠。通过影像学检查确诊,未先行复位即进行了手术切除。患者顺利康复。该病例突出了成人肠套叠所带来的诊断挑战,并强调了CT成像在识别潜在病因和指导适当治疗方面的关键作用。早期识别和及时的手术干预对于取得良好预后至关重要。
